Before I return completely to the very serious world of post-grad literary studies I would like to register a link to what myself and my son (aged 4 years) believe to be a very humerous website, although not exactly what you would call high brow.
Albino Black Sheep is a site for Flash animations. They are uploaded here by individuals who probably appear completely normal should one pass them on the street or share a bus seat. However whoever created Shfifty Five is a master/mistress of the nonsensical parody. I myself have been singing The Kitty Kat Song all day and everytime my son hears me he begins laughing.......
Of life as Bakhtin wrote: "Truth is restored by reducing the lie to an absurdity."
